Learning Perl, 2nd Edition
by Randal L. Schwartz and Tom Christiansen


Here are the changes that were made in the 7/98 reprint.


(1)  paragraph 2, line 4: "that,f" changed to "that,"


(3) "bookquestions@ora.com" changed to
"bookquestions@oreilly.com"


(10) para. 3, last line: "}" changed from Roman to constant
width font


{20} line 2 of text: "init_word" changed to "init_words"


(20) 1st para, 3rd to last line:  "$!" changed from Roman
to constant width font


{24} in the first code example, added a semicolon to end of the
next-to-last line


{30} the final example, the second line of code:

	dbmopen (%last_good, "lastdb", 0666),;

changed to

	dbmopen (%last_good, "lastdb", 0666);


{38,39} The table heading should say: "Table 2-3. Associativity
and Precedence of Operators: Highest to Lowest"


(39) Table 2-3: second "Nonassociative" entry: added close
parenthesis "(noninclusive and inclusive range"


{51} first code example, line 3:  changed
	($a,$b,$c)
to
	($a,$b,$c);


{52} next-to-last code example:  added semicolons to the
end of each line


{52} in first sample code:

	@fred = @barney = (2, 3, 4); ' # same thing

deleted that extraneous apostrophe.  line now reads

	@fred = @barney = (2, 3, 4);   # same thing


(53) para. 4, line 1: "beyond the ends" changed to
"beyond the end"


(64) next-to-last para., line 2: "$_" changed from Roman to
constant width font


{72} "while" example, line 1: removed the close parenthesis
 after "$line"


(72) last para., line 1: "$_" changed to constant width font


{79} line 2 from the bottom: The "a" in "a b" changed to Roman.
So did the period after the "c".


(85) Under "Selecting a Different Target (the =~ Operator)":
     the "1" (number one) in the third and fourth lines changed
     to an "l" (letter el)

**This change was made in the 7/98 reprint; however, it is incorrect.
  The code should read "1" (number one), not "l" (letter el). So here's 
  how it should read (letter L capitalized only to emphasize it):
	
	$a =~ /(.)\1/;      # also true (matches the double L)


{88} next-to-last code example, line 1: added semicolon to end
of the line, after "hello, world"


{93} last code example, line 2:  added a semicolon after
say_hello()


(134) next-to-last line of para. 1: "support rich" should be
"support-rich"


{140} last code example, line 2: added a semicolon to the end
of the line

{148} last code, 1st line: fork())  changed to   fork()))


{189} first code, lines 8 and 11: "print p(..."  changed to
 "print q(..."


{199} line -8: "LOCK-EX" should be "LOCK_EX"

        (/^[^aeiou]*a[^eiou]*e[^aiou]*i[^aeou]*o[^aeiu]*u[^aeio]*$/);
    }


(225) 1st paragraph, line before the last: "write" changed to constant width
font
